Fear of the dark

I am scared of the dark
It's like being in a pool of sharks
Everything will turn red
And soon I will be dead

When the lights are off
Staying calm is tough
Something is going to stab me with a knife
Or even suck out my life

My grasp on my pillow is tight
I can feel something crawling up my leg
And all I can do is beg
Beg for help to win the fight

A tear rolls down my cheek
And I start to feel weak
I see them comming to me fast
And I feel this breath might be the last

I reach out for the light choking
I feel the invisible eyes looking
I find the light with clumsyness
And the demons are cured like an illness
